Upside Down Homes at DeBordieu

People looking to really maximize their views of the ocean, creeks, marshes, lakes or the golf course at DeBordieu are choosing inverted floor plans to do so. These popular "upside-down" homes are found in every neighborhood of this private oceanfront golf community just north of Charleston, SC.

In most cases, the living areas and master suites are placed on the highest floor while the additional bedrooms are on the middle or lower floors.

Other benefits from choosing an inverted floor plan at DeBordieu include taking advantage of the prevailing breezes from the Atlantic Ocean and North Inlet, being able to have a more dramatic, vaulted ceiling, and bugs don’t often fly that high, making entertaining on open decks and porches much more fun. Until recently, most of the inverted floor plans found at DeBordieu were on the island, and used as second or vacation homes.

However, over the years, people found that so many of the homesites on the golf course and in the lake community at DeBordieu offered such spectacular views, that it’s become one of the preferred options for primary residences as well.

Most of the homes are built with an elevator, particularly for luggage and groceries, but if not, the architect will stack two big closets, one on top of the other, to provide an elevator shaft, should the owner decide to install one later.

Whether you desire a spectacular view of the ocean, inlet, creek, golf course, lake, or forest, a home with an inverted floor plan might just be the perfect option for you and your family.

Help!

Oleane O’Quinn…..OH BOY!!!! 
I’ll get by with a little help from my friends…. and a LOT of help from my new real estate assistant! Please join me in welcoming Oleane O’Quinn, a familiar face to DeBordieu Colony Real Estate!

Oleane came to DeBordieu just after I did in 1986. She worked in the marketing department with me and Bill Leslie, as well as other DeBordieu departments such as Planning and Development, the DeBordieu Club Office, and in the DeBordieu Colony Real Estate Office as our Office Manager before she retired in 1992. Oleane has also done work for a few regimes in DeBordieu, as well as the Belle Baruch Foundation next door. So she pretty much knows the neighborhood like the back of her hand.

Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, Oleane is married to career Coast Guardsman. Woody O’Quinn, who once served as Officer-in-Charge at the North Island Lighthouse. After moving to Connecticut, the O’Quinn’s moved back to Georgetown where Oleane worked in attorney’s offices and Woody worked as a yacht captain at times for a few DeBordieu residents. Oleane is very detailed oriented, which is why I am delighted to have her on board.

When not crossing my t’s and dotting my i’s, Oleane spends a lot of quality time with Woody restoring vintage automobiles including a 1960 Chevrolet Impala they’ve had for almost 20 years. Oleane served as Secretary/Correspondent for Winyah Cruisers Car Club while Woody served as President; actively involved in organizing and putting on car shows (including the Harborwalk Festival car show) and producing a monthly club newsletter. Oleane and Woody’s daughter Cindy works with Synovus Mortgage in Atlanta, their son-in-law, Mark, with State Farm and they have two volleyball playing granddaughters. Oleane is active as a women’s group leader at Screven Baptist Church.

 I am so happy to have her working by my side at DeBordieu again. People have told me for years to get an assistant and my production will skyrocket. It’s already started! Which I why I say Oleane O’Quinn? OH – BOY!!!!

Super Moon View at "the Dieu"

Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby both pale in comparison to what will be happening on the beach at DeBordieu this weekend when residents and their guests gather to watch the rising of the SUPER MOON!  Just north of Charleston, SC, this private oceanfront residential community features a private golf club and an oceanfront beach club which will provide the perfect setting to watch this spectacular phenomenon. 

So what's all the fuss about, you might ask. Well, according to the folks at LearningMind.com: 

"The Moon’s distance from the Earth is not always the same due to the elliptical shape of the orbit and variations in the gravitational attraction between the Moon, Earth and Sun. When a full moon occurs close to the perigeeof the Moon (a point of its closest approach to the Earth) and its distance from our planet is much smaller than the usual one, then we can observe a “super moon” phenomenon.

Although every year there is from 4 to 6 super moons, not all are the same powerful, neither by the intensity nor by the duration of their effect. It has caused many discussions in scientific circles about the full moon on May 6, 2012 which is going to be one of the most powerful in years.

The fact that the perigee is over time associated with tremendous natural disasters, as well as with social uprisings, has made Nasa create a video that explains what is going to happen on 5 and 6 May, 2012."

So get to the beach this weekend and join the other "lunatics" for this SUPER MOON. While you're there, you can enjoy Cinco de Mayo, and, hopefully, the your winning horse from the Kentucky Derby!

Getting Away Close to Home

Sales of Vacation Homes are really picking up this spring, particularly at DeBordieu, the private, ocean front, golf community just north of Charleston, South Carolina. An article and video in today's Wall Street Journal explains why buyers are looking closer to home for their vacation spots.

A survey by the National Association of Realtors found that the median distance between a buyer's primary residence and his vacation home declined to 305 miles, which explains why DeBordieu has had so much interest from North Carolina markets like Charlotte (179 miles), Greensboro (223 miles), Salisbury (209 miles) and Raleigh (207 miles).
